Hey, there's been a bunch of new users so I figured it might be a good idea to make this thread. Feel free to post your introductions, as well as any links to socials (only if you want to!) such as storygraph, goodreads, or bookwrym etc. I am hopeful to set up a bookwrym instance eventually but its still very much in early early early development.

Also be aware that there are alternative UI front ends, as seen from here. https://literature.cafe/post/315847

I've considered making a writingtools community to catalogue some writing tools and software i know of (that arent AI based) to make things easier to find!

I would join something like that! I feel like there are lots of good ones out there, but not many aggregated or curated lists let alone communities.

Yeah. The thing with lemmy right now that is a double edged sword is that since theres such a limited amount of content, you're extremely likely to get interactions over not getting any. But at the same time, communities can kind of die if people aren't making any effort to post to populate it with content. That's why I am hesitant to make new communities, as a small amount of active communities is easier to navigate than a few active ones mixed with a bunch of dead ones.

Interesting! I guss that makes sense with lemmy being the new kid on the block (among many in the fediverse these days). Honestly, I'm pretty new to this whole universe, but I'm excited to dive in and see what people are up to and how the whole thing works, so if I sound kinda naive, I'll point to that.

Maybe it's enough to post some kind of megathread in the writing community, that way the conversation is more directed on the writing experience as a whole instead of just tools to help with that practice.
